The black pork cheek produced in Castelmezzano by Giampiero is a high-quality product, appreciated by gourmet enthusiasts for its intense flavor and soft, succulent texture.

Black pork cheek is a prized cut, derived from the cheeks of black pigs raised in the pastures of Basilicata. Thanks to the animals’ special diet and the careful preparation of the meat, the black pork cheek has a unique and refined flavor, with sweet and spicy notes that blend perfectly with the meat’s savory taste.

The production of the pork cheek is based on traditional and artisanal techniques that respect the natural cycle of the meat and preserve its quality and organoleptic characteristics. After salting, the meat is left to rest for a specific period to allow the perfect distribution of salt and the aromatization of the meat. Subsequently, the pork cheek is aged for a variable period, depending on the desired taste and texture. Giampiero is one of the few producers who prioritizes quality over quantity, setting an example for many.
